Johnnie Walker Red - Duty Free (late 1970's?) 43%ABV - 30ml Palate: Confected raspberryFun to taste Johnnie Walker from the 60's and 70's.

They usually achieve amazing consistency between years but when you go back 40 or more years you can tell that over time it has got a lot less interesting and complex and by the nineties it became basically a cocktail mixer and now needs tonic, coke
